AN argument over his tea ended with Patrick Quigley being arrested and spending nearly two days in custody.

But the dispute continued when Quigley appeared before Blackburn magistrates and admitted a breach of the peace.

Prosecutor Eddie Harrison said Quigley had been to the pub and became angry when there was no tea for him when he got home to where he lives with his mother and brother.

But Kevin Preston, defending, said Quigley had cooked the tea and had then popped out for a drink. "When he came back there was no tea for him because his mother and brother had eaten it all," said Mr Preston. Quigley, 26, of Honey Hole, Blackburn, admitted a breach of the peace.

He was bound over in £50 to keep the peace for six months.
